Farmers still have time to be counted in the 2022 Census of Agriculture, according to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. The original due date was in early February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the deadline for submitting the ag census has passed, NASS will continue to accept completed census questionnaires through “the end of spring” to ensure all farmers take advantage of the opportunity to be represented in the widely used data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“(We’re) actually running a little bit behind pace of the 2017 census. We’ll be collecting information through the end of the spring,” says NASS Administrator Hubert Hamer. “It’s very important that we have the most accurate information… for farm policy and other decisions that will be made affecting agriculture.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
